The default code should not have persistent, lengthy watchdog issues, only the intermittent ones that Doug mentioned.

Have you run the default code? That would be an important troubleshooting step to see if your minor changes are causing the issue or if the problem is something deeper.

The most common cause of persistent watchdog issues (other then broken code) is not having all the updates installed. Make sure you've installed LabVIEW update 2.0, and reimaged the cRIO with the v19 image. Also make sure you've installed the driver station update. If the dashboard doesn't have a compass in the lower right hand corner, then you've run into a know DS installer bug. Uninstall the DS software and reinstall it, and you should get the updated dashboard.
